HOLMDEL - The victims of an alleged home invasion and burglary over the weekend were former "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Dina Manzo and her boyfriend, businessman David Cantin, attorney Andrew B. Brettler told People magazine Monday.

“Dina and David are obviously shaken up from the traumatic and violent home invasion and robbery,” Brettler told People.

The two victims were bound together during the attack, police said. The masked intruders beat them and made off with cash and jewelry.

The man sustained a broken nose and facial injuries from being struck with a baseball bat several times by one of the assailants, and the woman was treated for facial injuries after being punched multiple times by the other assailant, according to the prosecutor's office.

Once the victims were freed, they called 911 and were transported to a hospital, where they were treated and released, police said.

The alleged robbery startled residents on Banyan Boulevard, which is within The Woods at Holmdel townhouse complex. Neighbors said The Woods was a peaceful community and that residents generally kept to themselves.

Theresa Scott, a resident of The Woods, said she knew Manzo and chatted with her occasionally.
